In our long life, about 70%-80% of the time is spent indoors, and our indoor air has been confirmed to have a large number of pollutants, according to the research data of the German Seiko Northumberberg laboratory, there are hundreds of pollutants currently known. These pollutants will subtly affect our health, especially formaldehyde, a class of carcinogens identified by the World Health Organization, and what worries us is that children are far more harmed than adults!
One reason why children are more susceptible is that children are in the growth phase, breathing about 50 percent more by weight than adults, and spending more time in indoor spaces than adults, making them more vulnerable to indoor air pollution. Another reason is that the proportion of pollutants in the indoor air is greater than that of the air, and most of them sink to a height of 1.2 meters above the ground, which is the main breathing area of children.
The child's own immune system is not fully developed, and the resistance to external pollutants is low, and formaldehyde is a strong irritating pollutant, so the child will suffer more damage is inevitable. Once the formaldehyde exceeds the standard for a long time, it will even induce childhood leukemia. According to clinical data, 90% of childhood leukemia patients have recently renovated their homes, and all of them have varying degrees of formaldehyde exceedance.
Other studies have shown that formaldehyde can also cause children's brain development to be delayed, and even affect mental development. So how do we create a healthy environment for children to grow up? According to indoor environmental health experts, the use of environmentally friendly materials in the decoration as much as possible, and reasonable planning, so that the emission of formaldehyde can be reduced from the source.
After the renovation, it must be ventilated and dried, and the check-in will be carried out after the test is up to standard. However, it should be noted that the volatilization period of formaldehyde is as long as 3-15 years, and in daily life, there will be new formaldehyde release sources from time to time, so the temporary compliance does not mean that you can sit back and relax.
In view of the long volatilization period of formaldehyde, we should also adopt sustainable treatment methods in our daily life, such as the German Seiko Norsenberg air purifier, which has developed a purification method of adsorption + decomposition for formaldehyde, which can not only quickly adsorb formaldehyde, but also decompose formaldehyde into carbon dioxide and water, so as to continuously reduce formaldehyde concentration and ensure our healthy breathing.
